A baby girl has been pulled alive from a collapsed building in Nairobi, after being buried for almost four days.

According to the Red Cross, the 18-month-old had been buried for around 80 hours and was found in a bucket and wrapped in a blanket. She appeared dehydrated, "but had no visible physical injuries," the charity said.

The unnamed girl appeared "no more than one and a half years old" and was rescued at 4am local time.
